Summary:
A year after five Hong Kong booksellers disappeared, Xiao Jianhua, a billionaire, was found missing and was claimed to be in mainland China. This contradicted an advertisement in his name that appeared on Wednesday morning saying that Xiao was receiving treatment overseas. Also, earlier this week, Xiao rejected the sayings that he was taken by mainland agents from Hong Kong to China through the WeChat account of his Tomorrow Group but these posts as well as the rest of the group’s posts were removed afterwards. The advertisement was also unlike his earlier statements from his company that it was signed off under his name this time instead of his company’s name.
